Qanga is an impressive indie space exploration game that rivals Star Citizen in its seamless, loading screen-free universe. Set in a fully explorable solar system, Qanga features ship travel, combat, trade, and base building. You can embark on this adventure solo or with friends, and the game is available in early access at an affordable price, with a demo also available for those who want a preview.
Here’s a closer look at what Qanga offers:
- Seamless Exploration: Travel between planets without any loading screens. Explore Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and its moons, Saturn’s rings, numerous orbital stations, and more. Each planet and moon is an open-world playground ready for exploration and exploitation.
- Unique Player Role: You play as a human-cyborg hybrid, defrosted and given a ship early in the game. From there, you can embark on a variety of space adventures, including scavenging, trading, shooting, and taking on contracts.
- Key Features:
- Full solar system exploration without interruptions.
- Solo and multiplayer modes for varied gameplay experiences.
- Custom server creation for personalized gameplay.
- Base building on planets and asteroids.
- A range of vehicles, from anti-gravity ships to aquatic crafts.
- Immersive first- and third-person combat on foot and in vehicles.
- Loot collection, gear upgrades, and progression in a dynamic universe.
- Survival challenges with strategic elements.
- Community-driven content creation through custom servers.
Developed by IolaCorp Studio, a five-person indie team, Qanga’s innovative gameplay is slightly marred by its use of AI-generated voice acting and music. However, the game is part of Steam’s Space Exploration Fest, offering discounts alongside titles like No Man’s Sky, Stellaris, and Everspace 2.
